Thank heavens! This tech can't come soon enough. My ISP runs a co-ax just below the surface of the road to my side of the street to the junction box. It then runs the co-ax along the edge of my driveway along the property line with my neighbor. It then runs the co-ax across my driveway, laying the cable in the section divider groove with a thin layer of caulking over the cable. I literally run over the cable every time I park my vehicle.

I've seen other places in our neighborhood where this is done in the sidewalks and the cable has been ripped up on the sidewalk. If pedestrians don't step over the cable they'll trip over it. It's a complete joke.

Where do you live? I have never seen such a half-assed install. I'm not doubting what you described, just curious what location has such lax building codes.
